Dotfiles Repository

My current approach to managing dotfiles.

Dependancies

1. Stow

Usage

1. Clone dotfiles repository to local machine. (~/.dotfiles)

   git clone git@github.com:alex-thorne/dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles

2. Run install.sh to adopt dotfiles from dotfiles repository to user $HOME. (stow --adopt overwrites any existing files! Move/backup existing dotfiles in your user $HOME first if needed)

   cd ~/.dotfiles
   chmod +x ./install.sh
   ./install.sh

Notes

Stow tree structure (-> indicates created symlink)
